The road now descended into a ravine. The
night had by degrees iightened mysteriously.
It was the rising of the moon, which now
came forth in solemn beauty over the hill be-

MERE G0UBETS JOURNEY.

Night was gathering over the little Belgian
village. In the single row of gray stone
cottages which fanked the road on either
side, lights were beginning TO twinkle Al
one end, through the open door, the smithy
fire sent a luddy glow half way across the
road. Sounds issued thence, but not those OF
the hammer, though there were regula,
strokes. Two or three houses off woman
stood in her doorway, and she was joined by
two or three others who ran out of their
cottages as the sounds came to their ears
"Fie, then, it is a shame! 1t is the second
time that he has beaten him to dayl" cried
one.
"But he will kill him" said younger
woman who carried baby. and whose
bonny face turned white under her snowy
cap.

AT this point the attention of the villagers
was diverted by the sight of n stranger-a
middle aged woman, who was coming along
the road. Her head was tied ND in q shawl.
and she was warmly and decenty dressed,
and she carried bundle and walked with a

and the tongues set to work on conjecture.
In the snlithy the sorrowful sounds had
ceased before the traveller reached the door.
The blacksmith, great brawny fellow, had
turned TO the finishing of piece of work
before giving UP for the night, and was heat
ing the iron which would soon resound to his
vigorous strokes. AT the bellows stood
little boy, shock headed and barefooted, his
chest still heaving with the pitiful sobs of re-
pressed trouble. Maitre Joseph perceived
that some one was intercepting the failing
light, and, turning round, saw the stranger

HER WAITING EYES.

Her waiting eyes, so deep and true,
Have searched the tender twilight thn ugh
The opal twilight, Inn and sN.eot
Where day and night embracing meet
At eve in one short interview
The fire flies glance. a fairy crew,
The signing breczcs softly sue,
The easement Roses al! cntreat
Her waiting eyes.
In vain the blossoms brim with dew,
Unseen the elf lights cross her view;
The zephyrs ebb above the wheat
For down the messy sylvan street
A lover swiftly comes to WOO
Her waiting eyes.

Let Us first glance at these reasons !,
seriatins, and zee what there is in
them:
1. Granted. But as reason" it
Is like . woman's "because." It an.
swers nothing and no answer can be
made to it.
2. A matter Of opinion that We have
not space here to argue.
8. Mr.. Irwin might as well have
claimed in 1866 that the republican
party was not an abolition party, be-
cause in 1856 and go it expressly dis
avowed its purpose to interfere with
slavery where it already existed. But
was not st. John a. much Of q prohibi-
sionist when the republican party elect.
ed him the first and second time, a.
when 1t did not elect him the third
time?
4. Granted without argument.
S. What about a ''free ballot and a
fair count" in the South? What about
the tariff? What about Mormonism?
What about anarchism?
6. The democratic party ,Dili not.
The republican party has not made. q
record As timid party. 1t has done
everything for temperance that has
yet been done for it. What it will d.
in the future, except 30 far as we may
judge by the past, is another matter OF
opinion which cannot be argued here.
6. We do not know whether this Il
true or not. Granting that it is, we
hardly see that it furnishes a reason
for the nomination of third party
ticket in Allen county Kansas.
Z. Mr.. Irwin is mistaken. Every
one of these gentlemen, with the posi-
BILE exception Of Senator Ingalls,, ha,
borne his full share of the fight mad.
by the republican party for prohibition
in Kansas.
So much for the "reasons," consider
ed singly. Considered all together d,
they in anydegree answer our question.
Mr.. Irwin docs not, as q good minister
should, stick to his text. We asket
him for reasons why there should be ,
third party ticket in Allen county
The republican party in this county I!
fully committed to the principle AMI
to the enforcement of prohibition. II
has nominated a. its candidates mer
who are thoroughly in accord with i
on that As on all other questions. Why
jeopardize the election of these men b,
nominating others, the only effect 0
whose candidacy can be to elect me,
who are opposed to the principle An.

will ponder these questions before go
